If you are all in worries or warming yourself in the bathhouse,
|
Or just sit down to eat - stop.
|
Take your eyes off the plate, take your ass off the heating pad,
|
I have some messy ditties for you.
|
In the hour of freedom the whole country was drunk without wine,
|
But a hangover is inevitable as a finale.
|
And we woke up little by little - who guarded the road with a gun,
|
Who danced barefoot in shorts on a bare foot.
|
Who here treated whom, who received freedom?
|
Speculators and profiteers have it.
|
And these muddy businessmen made paper out of paper
|
And they rejoice and bank, though they do not grind or forge.
|
They say a fool has no chance for sure
|
And do you remember Glashka from the lump - well, you fool is a fool.
|
And now the fool Glashka, our former huckster,
|
General boss of the commercial structure.
|
The young broker is a fine fellow, a former VLKSM member.
|
The communist father does not understand.
|
Like a half-educated son, a blank seal and a fountain pen
|
Do they help to make a little thing out of a dozen?
|
They say we are crows, speculators and thieves,
|
But these brothers are all lies and you don't give a damn.
|
It used to be we were pressed and transplanted a long time ago,
|
And now we are respected people.
|
Then some bastard saw chaos in our business,
|
"Koza-nostroy" called us more than once ...
|
Yes, what the hell, goats - goats are a trifle, goats are prose.
|
Goats die from frost on collective farms.
|
Once, one of my friends, having suddenly come out of a binge,
|
I took a sober look around and swelled...
|
"Sharp" on "sharp", "shop" on "shop", as if we are already in Europe,
|
And not in that deep hole where you and I are.
|
Our radio, in spite of everyone, has already grown to Oslo
|
And maybe it will grow to Amsterdam.
|
In the tinsel of English phrases, it only sometimes squeaks in Russian
|
Not a man, not a smoky lady.
|
Every cloud has a silver lining, but it's time for us to understand
|
That chaos is a very dangerous game.
|
Everything has already reached the putsch, but it didn’t come out like a “Duce”
|
If I didn’t sit in a cloud-cloud, I would become a “duche”.
|
Today men have taken power - football players and walruses
|
They were ordered to "live long" by the CPSU.
|
Our authorities have become younger and set to work with a twinkle,
|
It's a pity that this is a case without a limit.
